I've managed to add a network printer to pc for all users using the following
command:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n"\\server name\printer name

but when I try to make it the DEFAULT PRINTER for all users on that pc using
the
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n"\server name\printer name
it only adds the printer for the currently logged on user.

PLEASE HELP ME. I'VE ALSO TRIED LOGIN SCRIPTS, BUT THAT'S BEEN LESS
SUCCESSFUL.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP RENDERED!!!:)

Hi, you might want to look up another post for the same thing. The subject is
"Set default printer", is dated 8/1/2005 2:25 PM PST and is from Bruce
Sanderson, MVP Printing.

Essentially, Bruce is sayint that "The default printer setting is per user
(part of the user's profile)... You may want to put the "rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n printername" command into a logon script or in
a command file in the All Users\Startup folder.
